Okay, I am just going to try to calm myself down. I almost called my husband and realized that he will not answer his phone at work, posted here on the forums, then I thought that I would email my t, and ask him if my fears about this phone call are rational or not, and what I should do. If the fears are irrational, ask him to calm me down. Then realized, that I can't bother my t just because I am freaking out right now, over something that I probably shouldn't be freaking out over. I need to calm myself down, tell myself that it was not that big of a deal, it was just a random prank call, and whoever it was probably just dialed a random number in hopes of getting a female voice over the phone so he could scare the hell out of her, that it was not in anyway personal to me. That is what I am saying, so that I can now stop being so scared that someone is in someway watching me.
Try to forget the whole thing, and not let it scare me anymore, yet wonder if it is a possibility that calming myself down is easier said than done.

I saw your post on the forum this morning and was a little worried that you didn't reply. Your signature link shows your blog - so that's what brought me here.
I'm so sorry about all of this being so upsetting. I'd like to suggest that even though it probably was just a random jerk making that call - and no one who knows you at all - I think you ARE wise to call your T, or your husband, or someone. You do NOT have to tough out this sort of stuff alone. It is just too hard considering you're trying to heal yet. Later, after you're feeling more recovered that's a different story - but this is the sort of stuff a therapist is there for.
What I read about victims like us is that we're always afraid to ask for someone to help us. We should not be hesitant to ask for help. In this case, I think it would show your strength if you did call your T. Just say, "hey, I think this is nothing, but I want to double check your take on it."
I hope you'll feel better soon.

Thank you for your concern. I feel a little better now, my husband is home. I am actually having a therapy session tomorrow and plan on talking to him about it. I just hate getting so scared over something that probably isn't even a big deal. Thanks again!
